"My manager was an excellent manager, but I'm not sure management anywhere would put their prejudicial preferences aside when working with People.

I typically judge management by it's capable skills with the 3 P's, people, paper and politeness. Typically, these managers, while being highly stressed and forced to live the 'global life' had the 3P's down to a T. From my own scale, they would rank as great to fantastic!!"

"Their sales team were a bunch of liars. Promised the customers the world but delivered next to nothing.They don't really repair anything except AB and Reliance products (their own equipment). Rarely honored warranties and they got caught marking 3rd party repair prices in some cases as much as 300% of their competition. Claimed it was for their value added services. I increased my revenue by the standard 10-15% yr over yr but had my goal increased by 30+% and was fired for not meeting this unrealistic goal."
